http://www.fromgardentosoupbowl.com/blog/one-day-soup-cleanse We like to detox our body with soup because it gives it a break and provides rest for the digestion system while flooding it with nutrients. Believe us, you will not be starving with a soup cleanse but you might start missing your accustomed foods. We chose to do a one day cleanse because our everyday diet already contains mostly healthy food. You can do one, two, three or even a week cleanse. Remember never starve yourself. Listen to your own body and if it craves a piece of chicken breast or fish, then do it. Just remember to make a healthy choice. How you will feel during a cleanse is so individual. Detoxing is not always easy. It can be simple and smooth for some, while for others there might be a withdrawal effect such as mild headaches and a dip in energy. It you are eating clean, then this will most likely be a very easy transition. From our experience, we feel sense of "lightness" in our body and mind…

Day 5: Challenge Yourself!
Is there a point to all of this? If you are going to “be” why not be the best version of you possible? This does not mean that you have to look photoshopped.The experience of being here, alive and moving through life can be anything that you make it.
There is a simple grace that comes from strength, agility and the power to move through your physical life and enjoy the experiences that life has to offer. Life is a gift. It’s a profound honour and privilege just to be here to begin with. Let’s show our gratitude by taking care of that which has been given. Fill your body with the right food. Make choices that support the whole of who you are. Hiit it with us each day for 12 minutes.
Dream big dreams. Enjoy the gifts.

Between juggling your career, making time for friends, dating, indulging in “me time” and dealing with whatever else the universe throws your way, life can get downright hectic. More often than not, there’s nothing we’d rather do than practice an eye makeup tutorial or bright, bold lip look until it’s perfect, but sadly, our jam-packed schedules just don’t permit these little luxuries. If you find that time isn’t on your side but you still need to pull together a look that is nothing short of spectacular, these one-swipe makeup products will make you look like you put in a ton of effort (when you really didn’t).

Primer
Any beauty guru will tell you that if you want your makeup to last throughout the day, primer is a non-negotiable. This is even more important if you’re adding eye makeup to your look, which is why Urban Decay’s Complexion Primer Potion is the perfect one swipe primer to use on your skin AND your eyelids. Who doesn’t love a good twofer?

WorkoutFormat: this is a Tabata-style workout. Each workout interval is 0:20 and each rest period is 0:10 - you'll do 4 rounds of Tabata A, rest, then 4 rounds of Tabata B, rest, then 4 rounds of Tabata C

Tabata A:

1- Lateral Barrier Jumps - have something (a towel, for example) to act as a "barrier" that you'll jump over - stand on one side of the barrier and squat down, using good squat form, loading your weight in your heels, chest up - explode to jump over the barrier, landing softly - keep your weight back - make sure your knees don't go beyond your toes - keep your core engaged - MOD: do a squat, step across, and squat again - you can also hop instead of jump 2- Cross Body Mountain Climbers - come into a tall plank position, hands stacked beneath your shoulders, core engaged, back NOT arched - run your knees to the opposite elbow - MOD: slow down the cross, or hold plank either on your toes or knees - if you need to take the pressure off your wrists, do standi…

7. Scoop the soup into the blender, we had to do it in a few batches.

9. Pour into bowls hot and top …

By Caroline Solomon
The question: Is exfoliating every day bad for your skin? The answer: Yes.
I first tested this hypothesis after experimenting with daily exfoliation for a week (I diligently swiped my face with Biologique Recherché P50 exfoliating toner morning and night.) Why? A well-known British blogger/aesthetician said it left the skin smoother, more radiant, and it allowed for maximum product absorption of serums, oils, and creams. Hopeful as ever, I followed her advice—and, after just five days, ended up looking more like a sun-baked Tom Hanks in Castaway than a glowing goddess. In other words, my cheeks were rash-y and inflamed, and my complexion looked splotchy and red.
With this skin care misadventure in mind, I was determined to find out how often you really should exfoliate to stay on the right side of smooth, polished skin. My investigation led me to three skin care experts, who unanimously agree that two to three times per week will almost always suffice. Here’s thei…

Day 3: Push Through The Pain!
If you find yourself looking for that one magic bullet, that one killer exercise, that new diet “secret” that will unlock the mystery of having a perfect body then you might be in danger of shifting focus away from what actually delivers results. You are what delivers results, and those results come a day at a time – every time you choose to BodyRock with us and all the rest of the time that you choose to support your training by making diet choices that bring you closer to your goals.
You have everything inside of you that is needed to succeed in this and every other area of your life. BodyRockers develop amazing “core strength” and I’m not just talking abs here people. Each time we reach within for that strength to pound out that extra last rep that power, strength and confidence inside us becomes that much easier to access when we need it.
Enjoy today’s workout.

Well, what do you know? Two of our favorite (and most popular) makeup trends of all time — over-lining lips and contouring — have decided to team up! And what do you get when these two illusive tricks unite? Lip contouring. It’s the full-on shadow-and-light effect … for your pout. Following the same method as facial contouring, lip contouring focuses on adding dimension and definition to create the appearance of perfectly plump lips. So, grab your trusty liner, and let’s get to contouring.
